After Champlain died Joliet with his father Jaques Marquette and five other companions in 1673 set out by the orders of Comte de Frontenac, the Canadian Governor to trace the Mississippi River. They started from Saint Ignac on the Straits of Mackinac on May 17. Traveling in Birchbark canoes, they crossed Lake Michigan to Green Bay and southwest on the Fox River.
